An important read for people who can't say no.
Published by Dacy , 5 years ago
This book is a liberating work for people who do everything for everybody else. It teaches that it's not only perfectly okay to say "No!" but that its GOOD. There's no need to feel guilty.
You don't have to do things you don't want to, no matter how indebted you feel. It helps you learn to stop settling for less than you deserve and to stop being a pushover.

Self-Help for the Self-Help Averse
Published by Beth Clark • January 22, 2019
If the term "self-help" makes you roll your eyes or the thought of going on a play date with your inner tween makes you cringe, then this blog is for you! (Note: we do use the term "self-help" but only because the thesaurus alternatives are lame and "independent quest for human improvement" doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.)
New Year + Same You = Say Hello to Anti-Resolutions!
Published by Beth Clark • January 01, 2019
New Year = Let the resolutions begin! Orrr...not. 2019 is new, but really, you woke up the same old you (older if you overindulged NYE), so maybe it's time to embrace your real, gloriously imperfect, weird self and say hello to anti-resolutions instead of the same old same old. (And good-bye to celery without peanut butter and raisins!)
